GEMS World Academy – Abu Dhabi, invites students, from FS1 to Year 10, on a journey of knowledge, with a strong community atmosphere, which provides a safe and comfortable environment for young learners.As we continue to grow, our ambition is to eventually become an all-through school, offering learners of all ages a world of pathways and qualifications up to Year 13.
We pride ourselves on fostering a warm and welcoming learning environment where all our students feel safe, happy and fulfilled. Our curriculum is built on the strong basis of the Early Years Foundation Stage and National Curriculum for England using the exciting inquiry based approach of the International Baccalaureate. Our education philosophy champions the diversity of our student body to develop fully involved global citizens who are ready to excel in a rapidly changing world. Our approach is guided by a respect for each child’s uniqueness, ensuring we provide a hyper-personalised and future-proofed education.
GEMS World Academy provides a very good education for students. The senior leadership team (SLT), teachers and staff successfully work as a harmonious team to continually improve learning. The implementation of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) is highly effective in providing exciting opportunities for students to learn through inter-disciplinary units of inquiry. As a result, they take charge of their own learning and develop high quality skills through research, problem solving and communicating their findings through presentations and published outcomes. The parent community are very supportive and praise the school’s educational quality and caring ethos. The large majority of students’ attainment and progress are above curriculum expectations in subjects taught in English. The school has successfully made improvements in the quality of provision in subjects taught in Arabic. Attainment and progress are mostly acceptable and students make good progress in Arabic and social studies in the primary school.

I would attribute the school's success to the amazing principal, the kind teachers, and the friendly community. The school seems to have done a great job of excelling while also remaining diverse and grounded. Arguably the best IB school in Abu Dhabi.
My daughter loves it at GEMS World. She asks if we can run from the car into the school every morning, and skips down the hallway to her class.

A very good school. The Principal, teachers and assistants are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. My child has been attending this school for 4 years now and we plan to stay. There's a good balance between academic and personal development focus. It is a bit expensive though.

My daughter goes to GEMS World Academy in AD. We had a few issues at the start but the school did their best to fix any issues that we had. As a parent I keep a close eye on things as the fees are on the higher side so I want to make sure that quality of education stays in the top priorities. On the whole I'm pleased so far.
